| nhaines | tsimonq2: sorry, was out today. I'm free now though! | 01:53 |
|---|---|---|
| tsimonq2 | nhaines: look at this: http://ubuntu-wisconsin.org/ | 02:23 |
| tsimonq2 | nhaines: we have a page describing Uubntu,m as well as a flavors page that when you click each image, it describes each flavor | 02:24 |
| tsimonq2 | *Ubuntu | 02:24 |
| tsimonq2 | wow that was a bad typo | 02:24 |
| tsimonq2 | nhaines: I was the main contributer | 02:25 |
| tsimonq2 | *contributor | 02:25 |
| tsimonq2 | nhaines: Alex Dueppen helped as well | 02:26 |
| tsimonq2 | nhaines: if you see a typo, feel free to make a pull request here: https://github.com/ubuntuwisconsin/ubuntuwisconsin.github.io | 02:26 |
| nhaines | tsimonq2: very impressive! But fix the front page to say something about your loco. All webpages are always under construction. | 03:05 |
| nhaines | There's a good amount of content there. The system requirements are very frequently wrong. "Flavor" is never described on the pages, which is sort of a problem and somebody should fix the Edubuntu logo. (And probably resize the logo graphics not to be three or four times their display size.) | 03:07 |
| nhaines | I don't use git, so I can't contribute, sorry. | 03:07 |
| nhaines | Hmm, I guess /AboutUbuntu/ sort of glosses over flavors way at the bottom. | 03:08 |
| tsimonq2 | nhaines: fixed the Edubuntu logo | 03:26 |
| tsimonq2 | nhaines: where can I find the solid system requirements for all of the flavors? | 03:26 |
| tsimonq2 | nhaines: what about the flavors being on the pages? | 03:26 |
| tsimonq2 | nhaines: and we consider this site under heavy construction and not actually "useful" yet | 03:27 |
| tsimonq2 | nhaines: we wouldn't link someone to it yet | 03:27 |
| tsimonq2 | nhaines: very soon I will get something on the home page | 03:27 |
| nhaines | I don't think there are solid system requirements for all of the flavors. But good luck using Ubuntu as a desktop with less than 1 GB RAM! | 03:28 |
| tsimonq2 | should i use the official ones, or should I adjust them according to what I think is practical? | 03:28 |
| tsimonq2 | *I | 03:28 |
| tsimonq2 | ohh gotcha with the flavor thing | 03:29 |
| tsimonq2 | I will add it to the todo list to add that to AboutUbuntu | 03:29 |
| tsimonq2 | and I will have Alex work on smaller logos so loading times can be improved | 03:29 |
| tsimonq2 | anything else, nhaines? | 03:30 |
| nhaines | They're all PNGs, so they just have to be straight resized in GIMP. | 03:30 |
| nhaines | I'd use the official system requirements whenever available. May as well make the job easier. | 03:30 |
| tsimonq2 | I will have Alex, our design guy, address the logos | 03:30 |
| tsimonq2 | nhaines: should I just use the official requirements for the sake of making it easier? because that is not an issue at all | 03:31 |
| nhaines | Yes, I keep saying so. :) | 03:31 |
| nhaines | Those were the major issues, and and you can see, they were all pretty minor. It's a nice site with a lot of information and I'm very impressed. | 03:32 |
| nhaines | Work on describing the LoCo and what services it offers. It'll be a good way to solidify it for yourselves as well. | 03:32 |
| tsimonq2 | *could* I just use the various DEs for a day and *then* tweak the requirements? | 03:32 |
| nhaines | If you'd like, I suppose. | 03:33 |
| tsimonq2 | nhaines: I plan on making it so someone who doesn't know anything about Ubuntu can be directed to this site and leave knowing basic enough information to get help in IRC | 03:33 |
| tsimonq2 | so I will work on beefing it up for user-friendlyness | 03:33 |
| tsimonq2 | and so that is my goal | 03:33 |
| tsimonq2 | nhaines: and we also plan on moving to Bootstrap, so it doesn't look so...old(for lack of a better word)? | 03:35 |
| tsimonq2 | nhaines: we have a guy...Sam Klein...he will take all of the content and Bootstrapify it | 03:35 |
| nhaines | That's the least important part! But good. :) | 03:36 |
| nhaines | (Content is the most important part, and presentation can come later.) | 03:36 |
| tsimonq2 | well I don't want a newbie to look at the website and throw up and never even try | 03:36 |
| nhaines | It doesn't look bad as it is. | 03:36 |
| nhaines | But if the website doesn't have any content, it's worthless to begin with. | 03:36 |
| nhaines | So content first and presentation soon thereafter is the right priority. | 03:37 |
| tsimonq2 | that is why it is on the bottom of the todo list list | 03:37 |
| tsimonq2 | s/list list/list/ | 03:37 |
| tsimonq2 | I want some people to comb through it to make the content perfect | 03:37 |
| tsimonq2 | then we move to Bootstrap | 03:37 |
| tsimonq2 | because sometimes when I write, I write with too much...bias(for lack of a better word) | 03:38 |
| tsimonq2 | nhaines: is that all that needs to be improved? | 03:38 |
| nhaines | I'm a professional author, and I always have others proofread me. You can't really proofread yourself. | 03:39 |
| tsimonq2 | exactly | 03:39 |
| nhaines | And I write awesome first drafts, too (which is a skill that mainly comes with practice). Even still, there's plenty that slips by. :) | 03:39 |
| tsimonq2 | my goal is to have the content done and proofread by next Sunday | 03:40 |
| tsimonq2 | *by* | 03:40 |
| nhaines | Anyway, those were the things that jumped out at me so far. It's a really nice site that got bootstrapped really fast. | 03:40 |
| tsimonq2 | nhaines: could we informally meet here sometime on Saturday so you can see what has been done? | 03:41 |
| tsimonq2 | nhaines: maybe Saturday afternoon/night sometime? | 03:42 |
| nhaines | I think I'll be free then, yes. | 03:42 |
| tsimonq2 | ok, cool | 03:42 |
| tsimonq2 | in the meantime, you might wanna occasionally look at the site | 03:43 |
| tsimonq2 | and maybe even watch it on Github: https://github.com/ubuntuwisconsin/ubuntuwisconsin.github.io | 03:43 |
| tsimonq2 | nhaines: I wanna go to bed, *Monday* tomorrow | 03:44 |
| tsimonq2 | o/ thanks :) | 03:44 |
| tsimonq2 | night | 03:44 |
| nhaines | Haha, good night! :) | 03:44 |

| bbb | hello, anyone can answer my one question? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Lubuntu/GetLubuntu/LTS | 09:47 |
| bbb | Few months ago, there was Lubuntu 14.04 LTS on the site. | 09:48 |
| bbb | But right this moment, it has not such LTS but only 14.04 standard on the roadmap. | 09:50 |
| bbb | I just wondering, it just a typo or Lubuntu community changed thier policy. | 09:51 |
| tsimonq2 | bbb: nope, same policy, afaik they didn't change that | 11:29 |
| * tsimonq2 facepalms | 11:29 | |
